I love my family. One of the things I love about it is that we all really enjoy spending time together, even if a hangout is a teensy bit short-notice. But we always need some dessert; so I love having quick recipes on hand. A lot of times we will make gluten-free brownies but I…
Paleo Strawberry Ice Cream (dairy-free, coconut-free, egg-free)
Wisconsin is Amish-central, and we have an Amish farmer right down the road who grows fresh strawberries. They’re juicy, sweet, delicious, and make supermarket strawberries seem like wax imitations of the real thing! My family love ice cream, and when I made this super-simple recipe for them, it was gone within just a couple of…
Egg Free Paleo Pancakes (low-carb)
Not to brag, but also, to brag, my cooking skills have come a looooong way. Not like I was a good cook as a small child though, just that I went from becoming a bad cook or no-cook kind of cook to the allergy-free baker I am now. For instance, my first cooking experience was…
Paleo Tuna Salad Bites
This is my second day back from Paleo f(x), and while I’m feeling a bit better, I’m definitely still recovering from the crazy weekend. Our plane was delayed on the way home so we didn’t get back until 2 am. It was all worth it though; got to connect with tons of amazing bloggers and…
Honey Lemon Paleo Gummy Bears
This recipe is in honor of my beautiful and wonderfully supportive mother. She absolutely loves gummy candy, and her favorite is gummy bears. Basically my mom eats Paleo Plus Gummy Bears. (There’s a diet book idea!!) My mom has also been growing our her hair, so she’s been trying to get more gelatin and collagen…
Mango Strawberry Kale Smoothie
Note: This is a sponsored post written for Perfect Supplements. All opinions and writings are my own. While we’re still getting a few chilly days here, spring has sprung in southern Wisconsin. And you know what that means; fresh berries and tropical fruits are appearing in the produce section! Warmer weather definitely screams smoothies, and…
Paleo Fudgy Brownies
I am constantly on a quest for perfect brownies. It’s not a bad life. To me, perfect brownie means fudgy and dense on the inside, and bit crispy on top. No fluffy, cakey brownies for me, thank you very much! My Plantain Brownies fit that bill quite well, but I developed this recipe in case…
Paleo Challah
I had a reader email me and request a grain-free challah recipe to make for Easter dinner. Challah is simply bread enriched with eggs, oil, and sugar, and braided into a crusty loaf. Never one to pass up a paleo bread challenge, I set to work! The loaf turned out totally yummy; beautifully brown and…
AIP Apple Cinnamon Mini Muffins
There’s been a revelation in the world of AIP baking, and I cannot take credit for it. Rebecca from Lichen Paleo, Loving AIP has a recipe for No-Nut Tigernut Spread (aka homemade AIP nut butter). I was a little skeptical but I had to try making it because I knew it would be totally awesome…

Dierks Farm is a family-owned Illinois (south of my home state!) based business that produces high-quality 100% grass-fed beef. Check out their…
Sunbutter Chocolate Valentine’s Hearts (paleo, vegan, coconut-free, nut-free)
My sweet little sister turns FIFTEEN this Valentine’s day; it’s crazy because I remember when I turned fifteen; I felt so old and mature – lol. And let’s not even talk about the fact that I’m going to be nineteen this month; yes we won’t even mention it. Anyway, my sister is sensitive to gluten,…
Paleo Pretzel Rolls
These rolls are a cross between my two most popular cassava flour recipes: French Bread and Paleo Soft Pretzels, and they capture the best of both worlds. With these amazingly chewy rolls with the crispity-crunchy and salty crust, I can enjoy one of my favorite bread items, soft pretzels, and eat bread with butter! At…
Cassava Flour Biscuits
Well, I finished my first every 21 Day Sugar Detox on Monday, and I must say I’m very happy that I did it! It was definitely hard not eating sugar for 3 weeks, but it was so worth it! Benefits I saw from the detox: More energy Less bloating Fewer cravings Hormone balance …So did…
Plantain Egg Muffins
One of my favorite Christmas presents that I received was a spiral veggie cutter! I haven’t gotten the chance to make a ton of things with it, but I did make these yummy plantain egg muffins; actually for Christmas morning! The spiralized plantains in these plantain egg muffins cook up crispy like little hash browns,…
Paleo Mini Bread Bowls
I have really great memories of bread bowls. I don’t remember what restaurant it was, but we would go there as a family when I was little; my brother, my sister, and I would get kid’s meals, and my mother would usually get this amazing chili in a bread bowl. The bread bowl was huge…
21DSD Beef and “Rice” Burrito Bowls + 21DSD day 2 updates
Yesterday was day two on my first-ever 21 Day Sugar Detox; I started on January 4 and I am loving it so far. Now I can’t say that I am not craving chocolate (and cheese; who am I kidding), and it is really hard for me not to nosh on cashews; they’re my favorite nut…
